The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs Dudley’s book gives great insight into why so many people around the world love Dolly Parton. While Dolly is one of the biggest superstars, she has never forgotten who she is and where she came from and the faith that anchors her life. GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE, Bill Haslam, and First Lady Crissy Haslam Three amazing strands of stories are woven into this fabu- lous book, The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs. The thread of biography speaks of a fascinating woman whom we tend to think we know, but whom I admire even more when seeing her through the lens of faith. The thread of memoir shared through the author’s blending of his own life story with Dolly’s is a gift of hope and connection. And the final thread, that of devotional, invites us to more. Faith- based questions at the end of each chapter take us deeper into our own stories, while the prayers remind us that it was Dolly’s faith that has taken her to the heights she’s attained, as she humbly acknowledges. Reading this book reminded me of my own faith journey and the gift of story told through music, words, and life. I love this book! You will too! JANE KIRKPATRICK, award- winning author of All She Left Behind The Faith of Dolly Parton is a little book filled with big dreams! Dudley Delffs weaves together his unique spiritual journey with the wonder and wisdom of Dolly Parton’s with a heartwarming result. I was uplifted by the inspirational gifts of both and delighted by the author’s humor and the 9780310352921_FaithDollyParton_int_HC.indd 1 4/6/18 11:31 AM joy hidden in the stories of Dolly’s life. Inside this book, part memoir and part biography, lies a map for readers to unfold their own prayers and dreams. DONNIE WINOKUR, author of Chancer: How One Good Boy Saved Another You may know Dolly Parton as a legendary singer, song- writer, music producer, actor, author, philanthropist, or entrepreneur. But those external successes are born out of a deep personal faith in Jesus Christ. In The Faith of Dolly Parton, award- winning author Dudley Delffs guides you through ten powerful lessons based on the music, character, and heart of this entertainment legend. Delffs’s insight into the sincere faith of Dolly Parton will warm your heart and inspire you to become more vulnerable as you grow stronger in your faith. CRAIG GROESCHEL, pastor of Life.Church, New York Times bestselling author The Faith of Dolly Parton made me smile one minute and reconsider what I thought I knew about her the next. Dudley Delffs uses his own spiritual journey to frame the way Dolly’s Christian faith has anchored her life throughout her many career accomplishments and personal milestones. The result is a warm, down- home conversation about much more than Dolly and country music, offering us a reflection on the beautiful, mysterious ways God uniquely uses each of us for his kingdom.

DOLLY PARTON love Dolly Parton. I I grew up with her, really. Dolly graduated from Sevier County High School the year I was born, which technically makes her old enough to be my mother. But to me she seemed more like an extended relative— a favorite aunt or beloved cousin. While I’d have loved for her to be my godmother, like she was for Miley Cyrus’s character in Hannah Montana, Dolly hovered at the edges of my life, part muse urging me to dream more and part guardian angel pulling me back to my roots. As a boy growing up in small- town Tennessee, I spent many evenings sprawled on the pea- green carpet of our family room watching Dolly on The Porter Wagoner Show, 7 9780310352921_FaithDollyParton_int_HC.indd 7 4/6/18 11:31 AM The Faith of Dolly Parton my daddy’s favorite. Later, as a young man I prepared to propose to my wife beneath the watchful gaze of Dolly’s bronze statue in front of the courthouse in Sevierville, Tennessee. And as a young father, we took our three small children on vacation to Dollywood. I’ve never met Dolly in person and have only seen her perform live a couple of times. But like the University of Tennessee, the Smoky Mountains, biscuits and gravy, the works of Flannery O’Connor, and the lonesome sound of the night train echoing from beyond the pasture on the farm where I grew up, Dolly Parton is woven into the fabric of my life. And it’s not just her music that has shaped who I am— it’s her Christian faith. When I talk about the spiritual role models in my life who continue to inspire me, most people laugh or raise their eyebrows when I include Dolly on that list. But why not? In a world filled with so much turmoil, division, strife, and conflict, Miss Dolly models a kind of Christian faith that manages to be authentic, positive, hopeful, and contagious. In a world where public figures fall from pedestals daily, if not hourly, Dolly Parton is the exception. She keeps the faith, holds her ground, and keeps on being who she has always been ever since rising into stardom over fifty years ago. Whether celebrating a new album or unveiling an addition to her eponymous theme park, Dolly has never been shy about crediting God and her relationship with him as the source of her success. Even when others prefer to focus on her iconic curves, the 8 9780310352921_FaithDollyParton_int_HC.indd 8 4/6/18 11:31 AM The Butterfly Effect mysteries of her love life, or her latest groundbreaking endeavor, Dolly still manages to give God credit for it all. More important than what she says, though, is how Dolly lives out her faith in tangible, openhearted, mountain- moving ways. She’s a philanthropist and a humanitarian— big words for a little lady who says she only wants to share her songs with as many people as possible. There’s a simple childlike joy about her gener- osity and desire to help other people, whether teaching children to read or enabling residents of her beloved Smoky Mountains to recover from devastating wildfires. Dolly doesn’t preach or presume to tell us how we ought to think and behave. She doesn’t discuss denomi- nations, politics, or other people’s mistakes. If anything, she goes out of her way to take the high road, to give people the benefit of the doubt, to hope for the best in her fellow human beings.

  • Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better.

  • THE STAGING of the FEMALE BODY in University of Stavanger COUNTRY MUSIC [email protected]
    MÜZİKTE TEMSİL & MÜZİKSEL TEMSİL II ‘STAND BY YOUR MAN’ Lise K. Özgen THE STAGING OF THE FEMALE BODY IN University of Stavanger COUNTRY MUSIC [email protected] I am going to look at performativity and expressions of femininity in popular music; more specifically in country music. An interesting example can be the Canadian singer d.lang, where the transition between women/man dynamic to a more ambiguous gender construction is fundamental in how lang represents herself through her songs. Performativity The connection between gender and performance has been discussed in many cultural theoretical settings, using the term ‘masquerade’. The term has become an important and nuanced theoretical aspect of femininity and its representation. Joan Riviere’s ‘Womanliness as a Masquerade’ from 1929 holds a key place in discussion of female sexuality in psychoanalysis. Riviere argued that femininity was a performance where there was no genuine femininity separate from the masquerade; there is no distinction between authentic womanliness and its masquerade. “Womanliness ... could be assumed and worn as a mask, both to hide the possession of masculinity and to avert the reprisals expected if she was found to possess it…” (Riviere 1929:213). According to this, gendered identities are produced and performed in everything one does, and there is no gendered identity separate from performance. Performance demands the idea of an act, where the performer constructs a fabricated or invented identity. In this context we can also include Judith Butler’s ideas about performativity. We as individuals create ourselves through activities. Performance is not something passive which carries in it an inherent meaning; instead we are created by active actions that confirm meaning.
